FINE FEATHERED FRIEND

I was able to talk my husband into letting me borrow the camera for the day so I went to Memorial Park. I went in hopes of getting a few shots of the Military memorials but was distracted by a large hawk who landed in a near by tree to pluck a pigeon. Once he got used to my presence and the persistent clicking of the camera, the hawk continued his meal. While he showed agitation at the approach of other visitors, he seemed to have accepted me and allowed me to get right up under him. In this picture he watches as I pulled a branch out of the way for a better shot. In fact he seemed so comfortable in my presence that I almost expected him to share his meal by tossing me a pidgeon wing.

This photo is stunning!Love your journal..I especially enjoyed the Colorado Renaissance Festival. I've been going to this festival since 2005. I go because of 'the bell guy'..I've actually started a Cast In Bronze blog you are more than welcome to stop by.http://journals.aol.com/cheriann4321/moonlit-bell/
